Chaga Soap Bar
The antioxidants in chaga mushrooms are amazing because they are able to protect our cells from free radicals. Chaga is 46 times more powerful in antioxidant content in comparison to blueberries!
Chaga has the highest amount of something called Superoxide Diamatuse (SOD). This SOD helps prevent & reduce oxidative stress found throughout the body. Oxidative stress leads to inflammation. So, since the SOD found within the chaga reduces those levels of oxidative stress, chaga is a very effective anti-inflammatory! The SOD, as well as Betulonic Acid, an anti-cancer, antiretroviral, & anti-inflammatory property, work together to reduce inflammation when applied topically.
Betulonic Acid also works to regulate sebum secreted from the skin. This helps inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria! Acne, as well as other skin conditions such as eczema & psoriasis, are all due to inflammation, which is yet another reason why chaga can be so crucial for finding relief!
Chaga has one of the highest forms of melanin & pigment content due to its dark exterior & burnt caramel-colored interior. The melanin found within the chaga is able to provide some level of protection from the sun & UV rays. Chaga can also reduce dark sunspots on the skin!
